We wrote a quick letter, on Substack, to Substack creators — a call for anyone similarly tired of publishing trending toward walled garden social platforms:
Join us on a more open network & publishing ecosystem!

GraphQL clients aren’t just for fetching data.
They’re becoming the backbone of modern platform architecture.

GraphQL error handling sucks. There, I said it.
Null checks everywhere, and ambiguity: error, or true null? We've all been there.

We in engineering leadership must reckon with the great decoupling of writing code from career progression. I wrote a thing here:

As writing and re-writing code becomes commoditized, staff engineer-type work will become the norm and not the exception.

I’d go so far as to say that any abstraction motivated primarily by reuse has a very high probability of being a bad one.

You’re using GraphQL fragments wrong.
They’re not for reuse, they’re for co-location.

Apollo MCP Server is generally available with production-grade features.
GraphQL's declarative nature means one query can replace multiple REST calls. Your agent gets exactly the data it needs in a single request.
